Breakfast is the perfect area to get started on a vegan journey! Meal planning isn't as overwhelming as you can easily switch out ingredients to make them vegan. In this podcast episode I talk about what a vegan breakfast looks like and how to plan it.

Here's a quick recap of those 11 tips from the episode: *Determine your why *Make the decision to go vegan *Always be ready, so you don't have to get ready when it comes to meal planning, eating out, etc. *Don't restrict yourself more than you have to *Take time to get comfortable in the kitchen *Find a supportive community *Explore your grocery store/farmer's market in a new way *Make a vegan version of your favorite dishes *Realize that it doesn't have to be all or nothing *Focus on what you can eat and not what you "can't eat" *Progress over perfection -- always!
